Now if the FBI would just raid themselves.

A good thing investigating genuine corruption, or another step toward a federal police system?

Either way this seems like a pretty big deal.

More than likely due to the fact that the NYPD supports Trump.

Is this a bullying tactic since they're mostly unvaccinated?

The Durham Report probably is expected to implicate some rich elitist New Yorkers and this is a dog-tail wag.

I think one of the reasons the rich started the BLM movement is to demonize police unions. One of the only powerful unions left along with teachers unions which they try to weaken with charter schools. How to get democrats to be anti union? Have the pied piper Trump support them, that must mean they are anti-good.

I think they went after Jimmy Hoffa cuz of his union work, they didn't care about the mafia.

The dems have been anti-Union since the 90s, and before that they only tolerated Unions in the North in heavily unionized working class districts. Trump just picked up the crumbs left over from 20 years earlier.

Unions are bad for business.

Business funds the political parties.

yep so how to get people to be against unions, most would normally want to be in one since you get mpre pay and benefits.

Interesting how quiet they're being about the motive for the raid. Both sides. Weird.

It's like war, no one is going to show any cards they don't have to show. It's creepy, and anti-transparent. News is supposed to investigate that type of stuff but they're too afraid nowadays to do their job....

Excellent. I've known New England police officers who told me about unspoken requirements for them to give money to political campaigns (eg. $1000/year), or else the union gets them in trouble. And of course this merely scratches the surface.
